New England Navy Jack Flag of 1686 – 3 X 5 ft. Standard

New England Navy Jack Flag.

Size: 3×5 feet

The origin of the New England Navy Jack flag lay with the Red Ensign of the Royal Navy. The red ensign was first used in 1625, with merchant vessels being granted its usage by 1663. The lack of uniformity of the red ensign existed with land forces of the British Empire as well. In North America, the colonists relied for a large part on their own militias for security and defense.  Although it was an official flag of Great Britain, there was no official or standardized design of the banner. What was consistent was all the flags featured the Cross of St. George. These designs sometimes greatly varied by location, the type of vessel flying the flag, the rank of the commanding officer of the vessel, or the position of the vessel within the royal fleet.
